Only nodes that have been declared in "nodal time-history blocks" will be available
for processing. To get a list of available node numbers in command line mode
use the
M
(enu) command.
Coordinate system of results
All nodal results are in the global cartesian coordinate system except at nodes which have been defined as accelerometers: these report accelerations in the local coordinate system of the accelerometer subject to any rotations its "parent" rigid body has undergone.
